I really enjoyed your video. You’re so organized, it’s inspiring. Great planning and shopping haul. Also, I didn’t hear any static on my end.

Oh well, that's good to know, thank goodness there was no static. I'm glad that you enjoyed my video. I have learned when I go to the store without a plan I spend more. I have also learned that when I don't meal plan I have more of an urge to get takeout which is extremely expensive these days.

Great job! I really enjoyed your meal plan set up and grocery hauls. I got really hungry watching so I’m heading to the grocery store soon. I’m glad to hear you enjoy your job, and that you’ll be able to receiving a full paycheck soon. It’s nice to have a credit card available for a backup, we all do the same thing I’m sure.

As a mom of 5 kids oh boy that grocery hall killed me (besides the candy for birthday) you can easily double your haul if you don’t get the prepackaged stuff 😥
@livinglifewithmama8292
@livinglifewithmama8292 5 ай бұрын
Hello, thanks for the info. I understand about getting prepackaged things but this is what works for our family and the food we eat. My daughter is gluten-free and dairy-free so we eat a lot of fresh foods. and we are about to get TONS of fresh food from our garden. This week is a bit different. The soda and the yogurt are for me because I am a full-time mom, full-time worker, and go to school full time and this is my way of spoiling myself without breaking the bank. My daughter also eats breakfast and lunch at school. I eat leftovers from the dinner before. So really this is all we need. I also am not going to buy food we don't need. So we don't need to double our food for the week because it will go bad before we can eat it. Also, the chips, chewy bars, oranges, and meat sticks are for her snacks at school. So like I said this is what works for us and if I remember correctly we actually came WAY under budget which allowed us to get things that were not food-related for my daughter. SO, in a way, I did double it just in a different way. I am only feeding two people so we don't need as much food for the week. Also, ALL of this food was eaten, the corn chips will last us a couple weeks. Also if I was a mom of 5 my hauls would look WAY different and I have also found ways to make gluten-free and dairy-free meals cheaper than what I was doing because I WAS making 3 meals a day for 7 days straight. I am only making dinner and using leftovers for my lunch so I am being smart with my money and not being wasteful. Thanks for stopping by :)

Great video. I go over budget every time I grocery shop. Then I have to rob Peter to Pay Paul to make up for the difference. I wish my daughter would eat sandwiches. Lol she only eat if they are subway. I love your ASMR when you were drinking. Lol sound so refreshing on a hot day. That’s sweet of them to take your daughter out to shop for you.

Thanks for the comment. Oh my gosh, my daughter used to eat so many. With her being gluten-free I was buying gluten-free bread every week. and that's not cheap. I used to have to figure out how to pay for the money if I went over my budget. I hate doing that. I sometimes still have to in the past I would use my credit card to buy things in bulk and then get what I needed weekly and that helped but I'm working on not using my card. I don't even take it with me anymore. so it makes me make sure I stay under budget even more. I also take a calculator and if have to pay food tax here so if it has any cent no matter if it's 3.15 or 3.99 I round up to the next whole dollar and that seems to help. thanks for the ASMR that made me laugh and I was hoping that would make someone day hearing that :) yes, I am very grateful for my friends who take her shopping they got plants for me this year for my garden. they couldn't wrap them so I already got them :)

The condensing down to fill larger numbers is a great idea! I'd not heard that before. That's actually one of the reasons I've never considered starting a 100 envelope challenge, because if I could save $100 at one time, I wouldn't need to do that sort of challenge!
